Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) Compliance

One of the strictest electronic messaging laws in the world—Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation or CASL—carries pretty high stakes. Under CASL the CRTC can levy fines of up to $10 million per violation. And the liability for those messages extends to executive offices and the boardroom with directors and officers held responsible.

These are serious consequences for a simple email. And it’s a situation where your good intentions do not matter. What will matter is if you can demonstrate consent from the receiver, have detailed records to support consent and have employees who are trained in all matters CASL. Essentially, you must have a CASL compliance program. This is a significant amount of work and an overwhelming level of detail for most organizations.
